AZTEC is an interactive library that greatly simplifies the parrallelization process when solving the linear systems of equations Ax=b where A is a user supplied n X n sparse matrix, b is a user supplied vector of length n and x is a vector of length n to be computed. AZTEC is intended as a software tool for users who want to avoid cumbersome parallel programming details but who have large sparse linear systems which require an efficiently utilized parallel processing system. A collection of data transformation tools are provided that allow for easy creation of distributed sparse unstructured matrices for parallel solutions.
